Tifton, Ga., Oct. 11.—Marauding ne groes appear to be on the war path in the vicinity of Tifton. Three residences in town were entered, one with the ap parent intention of pilfering, the other two with a more sinister purpose, as the negro man was discovered by the bed- ! side of a lady in each instance, having his hand the ne ther e have been two or three arrests, the right ! man has not been positively identified. The houses of three farmers living at i Eldorado, 7 miles south of Tiftou, were also entered. In one of these the iady did not awake until the black scoundrel was on the bed beside her. In the other two he was discovered before bis pur pose became so appareut. The iady most seriously threatened was sleeping in the same room with her | husband, who was only a few feet away, j This prowler also escaped. A negro closely answering his description has been arrested in Tifton and carried be fore the ladies for identification. There was a difference of opinion as to whether he was the right man, and he was re leased by the officers, but rumor says he i was taken up later by indignant citizens I aud soundly thrashed. The scene of operations was changed | to Irwin county, aud the first attempt i made at the home of J. P. Lupo, whose daughter was awakened about 12 o’clock to find a negro had his hands ou her. She screamed for help aud the negro fled. Later in the night Mrs. J. H. Fletcher awakened to find herself in the grasp of a burley negro. She screamed for help and her assailant fled.

DRIVEN FROM THE MINES While tlit- Troops Were Holding Oue Mob In Chock Another Chased the Workmen Out, Closing the Collier ies—Quiet Again Prevails. Laxsfokd, Pa., Oct. 10.—About 1,500 men aud 00 women and girls marched IS miles from the southside, Hazelton regain during the night to the Panther Creek valley, where they expected to close ail of tiie ten collieries of the Le- liigii ('oal and Navigation company, bur just as the weary marchers were near ing their destination ihis morning they «ere met ou a mountain road by three companies of infantry and, at the point of tiie bayonet, were driven back 4 miles to Tamaqua and dispersed. Another crowd of S00 strikers from the nortkside of Hazelton also marched here aud suc ceeded in closing the company’s colliery at Ne-quelioning, near Mauch Chunk, before it was scattered. It was probably the most exciting morning that the Panther Creek and the Nesquehoniug valleys have ever experi enced. Strikers were scattered over the various roads, and companies of soldiers "’we scurrying in all directions heading off the marching men. The troops were patient with the strikers, while the la boring men were very careful not to commit overt acts iu the preseuce of the troops. ( lash Narrowly Averted.

WM, SCHWEIGERT & GQ, t 'Jewelers and Silversmiths, borhood, but as a rule they did not meet with much success, so it was decided to use stronger methods to get; the men employed in the tan mines out on strike. Accordingly it was arranged that a big demonstration should be held in the valley. It was to have been held yes terday morning, but, owing to the heavy ram and muddy roads, it was called off until this morning. The marchers came down like two armies, the southside men marching by way of Tamaqua, while the strikers from the nortkside went over the moun tain at Beavor Meadow and entered the Panther Creek valley by way of Nesque- honiug. The marchers went through the town without stoppiug for rest and headed for Coaldale, 4JU miles away. Five car riages coutaining newspaper correspon dents who had been traveling along at the rear of the procession were request ed to take the lead so that they would interfere with the plans of the strik ers. Following the newspaper men came two conveyances coutaining the women and then "followed a long line of Hungarians, Italians, Poles, Slavs and English speaking mine workers. Commanded (o Halt. At a point half a mile from Coaldale there is a sharp turn in the road and as the newspaper men rounded it there came a command of “Halt!” and about 50 feet in front of them stood solid rows of soldiers who were stretched across the road with bayonets fixed. Sheriff Toole of Schuylkill county was with them. The commander of the troops speaking to the waiting crowd said: “Iu the name of the people of the state of Pennsylvania, I command you to dis perse and to return whence you came.” The strikers began to protest that they could not be stopped on a public high way and many of them showed a dispo sition to resist the soldiers. The officer in charge of the troops, ■ however, kept his men in position and 1 the strikers, seeing that the soldiers evi- 1 dently’meant business, slowly began re- ! turning to Tamaqua. “Mother” Jones, who was in the crowd, vehemently protested against | the action of the troops in stopping the marchers, but she was ordered to move on. The women had to be almost pushed along, so slowly did they walk. They continually jeered at the soldiers, call ing them all kinds of names aud threat ening them with punishment if they should dare to visit McAdoo. It took from 3 o’clock uutil after 6 to drive the crowd back to Tamaqua. General Gobin In Command. ' Eight companies of militia left She nandoah at 1:20 o'clock this morning, leaving two companies behind. Briga dier General Gobin was in command. On their arrival at Coaldale three com panies, under command of Colonel O’Neil, were sent out to meet the south- side marchers. Three companies were left at Coaldale, while two compames under General Gobin came here. When the soldiers had driven the strikers over the mountains a company was sent back to Coaldale, where, they boarded coal , cars and were sent to Tamaqua to quel I a jiy disturbance [the scattering strikers might stir up there. Further along the road a company was deployed to protect- a colliery, while the marchers were passing it ana an other was also sent to Tamaqua. The three companies combined in the latter town and soon had the marchers well scattered. While all this had been going on the nortkside marchers had everything their own way in the Nesquekoning valley. They succeeded iu persuading enough men to remain away from the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company’s No. 1 colliery to compel its shut down. General Gobin sent two companies of soldiers oyer there aud soon had order restored. Mon Refused to Return. Shamokix, Pa., Oct. 10.—Despite an OUTRAGED HIS WIFE’S NIECE. Mob Is Searching Kor J. C.

POLITICS IN SAVANNAH. Proposed Legislation Causes Break In Ranks of Citizens Club. Savannah, Oct. 16.—Local politics is taking on some vivid colors. The indi cations are that the Citizens’ clnb fac tion, which carried things all its own way by about 900 majority in the county election, is not a unit on proposed legis lation and other matters political. Now that the faction has the upper hand both in city and county politics, it seems threatened with internal dissensions. The matter most discussed now is a proposed bill to give the retiring mayor the power to appoint all of the city offi cials for the ensuing two years, and take their election entirely out of the hands of council. It is street talk that this is a part of'a plan to insure the renomination and re- election of Mayor Herman Meyers, who, it is understood, will again be a candi date. MililODS Given Away".

Savannah, Oct. 13.—There is a prob ability of a new line of steamships be ing put ou between this city and Balti more. The Peninsular aud Occidental Steamship company is said to be behind the movement. It was learned that the steamship Florida of that line, now ply • iug between Boston and Halifax, will make one trip between this port and Baltimore and perhaps this is to be the opening of a line of vessels between the two points. The Florida is expected to arrive in Savannah about Oct. 22. It seems that the column, numbering 200, went to Lake Assal to obtain tha taxes on goods imported. The natives replied that they would give cattle, but not money. To this the chief of the ex pedition agreed. Thereupon a large number of natives entered the camp of the expedition on various pretexts and massacred and disarmed members dur ing bivouac. A second expedition was sent to assist or avenge the first, but il is believed that this lias also met with a similar fate. Thirty-Three People Drowned. Victoria, B.
